Not the biggest, most concentrated, or most luscious Coutet, this wine gets high marks because of undeniable elegance, breed, class, and a fresh, lively feel on the palate. The flavors reveal excellent ripeness, and the wine's refreshing crispness makes this an exceptionally enjoyable, non-cloying Barsac. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted, 3/89.
